Return to Silent Hill (2026) 18% 2/5 EDIT “Paying fastidious homage to the video game Silent Hill 2, this horror movie has some impressive visuals and production design, but it skimps in the character and story department. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Night Patrol (2025) 59% 3/5 EDIT “This violent horror tale is a bit of a mess, extending itself in multiple directions, but it's ambitious, with enough good ideas, righteous fury, and unholy shocks to make it worth seeing. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Shot back-to-back with 28 Years Later, this film has the same intelligence, visual inventiveness, and brutal shock factor as its partner, though it heads into more spiritual territory. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 3.5/4 EDIT “Perhaps no other filmmaker could have told this story quite so well as Gus Van Sant. ” – Combustible Celluloid Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 51% 2/5 EDIT “After the unexpectedly gripping original, it seemed like a great idea to revisit the Garrity family and see how they're getting on; alas, not so much. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Primate (2025) 79% 2/5 EDIT “This horror movie starts out promisingly and has genuinely unsettling visual effects (Ben is an actor in a suit, rather than CGI), but the script is just too familiar and silly to really work.” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Dutchman (2025) 57% 3/5 EDIT “A curious and not entirely persuasive experience, this surreal thriller nevertheless tackles themes that are both uncomfortable and relevant in an unsettling style that manages to captivate.” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Based on a crime story so strange that it can only be true, this zingy, funny, entertaining comedy-thriller does a fine job of balancing details and characters, even if it sometimes lags a little. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review The Mastermind (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Kelly Reichardt's ironically titled ninth feature is a shaggy, bad-luck crime story that deliberately and brilliantly sucks anything thrilling or glamorous out of the life of an art thief. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Black Phone 2 (2025) 72% 3/5 EDIT “For a completely unnecessary sequel, this one is surprisingly good, focusing on real emotions, trauma, and coping mechanisms and then building its frights from there. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Exorcism Chronicles: The Beginning (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Almost as if by force of will, this South Korean animated fantasy mostly overcomes a story that's both familiar and convoluted and an animation style that looks like video-game cut scenes. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Frankenstein (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “This passion project from director Guillermo Del Toro emerges as an impressive, operatic spectacle. Frankenstein is both dazzling and deliberately grotesque, and it's marred only by a few pesky flaws.” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “A one-set, one-night story of a tormented artist, Richard Linklater's fictional drama is smart, witty, exceptionally well-acted, and unafraid to ask tough questions about life, love, and art. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Deepfaking Sam Altman (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Adam Bhala Lough's documentary is an amusing movie with a good idea at its core, even if it only skims the surface of the myriad questions, benefits, and problems surrounding AI.” – Common Sense Media Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Sirāt (2025) 92% 3.5/4 EDIT “It is a disquieting experience, effectively straddling joy and release with loss and grief. It won't be easy to forget.” – Combustible Celluloid Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% 4/4 EDIT “This is an organic, poetic approach, worthy of its source material.” – Combustible Celluloid Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 2/5 EDIT “It has a few fun moments here and there, but this entry in the overall inconsistent sci-fi/action franchise feels like a grab bag of older ideas from older movies, with little to distinguish itself. ” – Common Sense Media Dec 31, 2025 Full Review It Was Just an Accident (2025) 97% 4/4 EDIT “Panahi is a political poet, knowing exactly how much to show and how much to suggest in this murky tale of vengeance, and what it actually means to cause harm.” – Combustible Celluloid Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% 4/4 EDIT “It's a movie about a game that matters hardly at all, but in the moment, matters more than anything.” – Combustible Celluloid Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “Well-acted, and astutely co-written and directed by Joachim Trier.” – Combustible Celluloid Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% 3.5/4 EDIT “A high-tension, high-stakes whirlwind not unlike their previous film 'Uncut Gems,' but perhaps not as relentless; this one is funnier, and with pacing that allows for moments to breathe. (Even though it's monumentally long, it's also crisply edited.)” – Combustible Celluloid Dec 31, 2025 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Park Chan-wook's latest Korean crime story is more deliberately a stress-out comedy than his darker thrillers, but it's still plenty dark, and its cleverness definitely keeps viewers off-balance. ” – Common Sense Media Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Dust Bunny (2025) 85% 4/5 EDIT “This dazzling, imaginative fantasy horror movie moves fluidly and inventively at first, then gets more frenetic and reckless—but it's still a unique, memorable time spent with monsters. ” – Common Sense Media Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Silent Night, Deadly Night (2025) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Easily the best in the entire gruesome Silent Night franchise, this remake uses the bones of the original 1980s story but adds many intriguing new elements. The result is an entertaining and even sometimes touching movie.” – Common Sense Media Dec 31, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 1/5 EDIT “After initially showing some promise, this cash-in sequel devolves into the most achingly shopworn, mechanical batch of mismatched clichés imaginable; it's like a rundown robot. ” – Common Sense Media Dec 31, 2025 Full Review
